HR Competencies

Communication

Objective

Have you been advanced over your co-workers? Have you been promoted into a new department? Are you managing people who applied for your position? Have you ever felt that a former colleague expected preferential treatment simply because they worked with you before you were promoted? Are some people testing the rules or trying to take advantage of their relationship with you?
Transitioning from being “one of the team” to “leader of the pack” isn’t easy. It can be confusing for everyone involved and can create tension, resentment, and passive (or not-so passive) resistance. Discover how you can manage this difficult transition more effectively, develop your own management style, and create the kinds of relationships with your employees that guarantee your success as a new leader.
